So I am having several problems with this phone ...in fact, I have had a problem with every single Android phone I've owned yet I keep coming back, lol.

 

Below are the problems I am encountering, please if anyone has some suggestions please share

 

1) Phone is ALWAYS syncing ...I have turned off the auto sync all together after leaving my Google and FB auto sync and each constantly were syncing. Tried batteries pulls, master reset, leaving it alone and it is STILL syncing

 

2) Market...have had the phone for more than 24 hours and Market has still not updated, I am still downloading out of the old Market

 

3) Where is the clock icon in the app drawer? On my DINC#1 I used that instead of the clock widget and now its gone

 

4) 1GB of internal memory? Really? I thought this was suppose to be better?

 

5) Very slow data...comparing downloading an app such as Angry Birds on my DINC#1 compared to my DINC#2 in the same exact location...by the time DINC#1 finished, the DINC#2 was at 30% complete (right next to eachother, both on 3G)

 

6) Sensitive button...not much effort applied to the volume and it shoots all the way up or all the way down which prevents me from using a case, once I put it on, it pushes down the volume and vibrates until I take the case off.

 

7) Bloatware ...well we cannot do anything about that but its discouraging seeing 5 consecutive VCAST apps knowing you have access to only 1/4 of the internal memory.

 

😎 Charges very slow ...charging for about half an hour and the phone ahas only increased 12% (on DINC#1 it would be around or at 70%)

 

 

Its new and bugs are expected ...but really? I didnt think anything could be worse than the Thunderbolt, boy I was wrong.

geeez... people and their impulse buying.

 

You know they preview and review these phones before they launch. They list the full specs on the phones. What it can do, what it can't. Battry life, blah blah blah. If you would have done just a little research you would have seen that this Incredile isn't quite so. So take it back if you have that many problems with it. 14 day worry free guarantee.

Good comeback!

 

Well despite SoulChasers winning attitude, I would like to continue this thread if I may. Looks like the constant syncing resolved itself ...I am guessing it has something to do with the new Sense feature? Every time I reset the phone it was attempting to restore all my apps from my previous phone...after a few hours it finally stopped. Wasnt aware of that feature because it never did that on any other Android phone ...being an alleged compulsive buyer and all, I have had a few different Androids lol.

 

Market finally updated after a few resets, but I am still experiencing slower data by comparison ...not sure if this was expected, or a problem. Curious if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. I live in an area where data pretty much blankets me but still have some slow data connection at times.

 

Looks like the charging had to with the continuous syncing, once it stopped it charged pretty quickly.

How's the battery life on it? Can you use different ring tones for text message alerts for contacts without using an app?

www.engaget.com is your friend. They reviewed the exact same problem that you were having and posted that a OTA software update was coming to fix the sync problem. As far as the market goes that's a known issue with all Androids that when you do a hard reset that it will revert to the old style. And the old apps...if they were purchased (not free) then they would be synced to your gmail account.  Thanks for the compliment on my winning attitude! I'm always a positive influence on most folks lives.

Battery life is far better than the first Incredible ...listening to music on my incredible #1 constantly, I would get about 4 hours before the meter turned red but on the Incredible#2, since about 8 hours ago with listening to music on and off, many text messages and going onto facebook often, its dropped from 85% to 54%. Very impressed.
